- What is the weight loss method you use? Is there any surgery?
There is NO SURGERY involved. The weight loss is based on MAX Fat Loss™ with main focus on efficient metabolism with combination of Diet, Exercise, Supplements and Medications after proper evaluation and assessment under direct supervision of Dr. Abrar A. Khan. This includes diagnosis and treatment of metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, hormonal imbalances etc. as required.
- How much weight can I lose with this method and within what time?
On an average expect to lose 10 - 20 kgs in the intensive phase of first 60 days mainly in form of fat (usually 1 - 2 kgs per week). The actual amount and duration depends on genetics, age, height, starting weight and many other factors determined after full assessment. The weight loss and the time to achieve target weight will be the quickest than any other method.
- For how long do I need to follow the program?
Weight loss is noticeable in the first week itself when all the aspects are applied fully. There is also increase in fitness, energy levels and well being when the initial 7 - 10 days of adaptation are over. The program has to be followed for at least 2 months to see substantial results or till target weight is reached.
- Will I regain this weight back later on?
The program targets the intra-abdominal fat, decreases insulin resistance and resets metabolism to higher levels. It will be easier to stay lean with less effort as long as a sensible lifestyle is followed.
- I just need a Diet Plan !
If you want only a diet plan then a dietician (nutritionist) can help. However being on a complicated rigid diet plan is inconvenient and slows down the metabolism with low energy levels and increase in hunger. Also there is rebound weight gain once the diet is abandoned. In contrast MAX Fat Loss™ is an advanced Physician based system focussed on increasing metabolism, fat loss, fitness & health.
- What is the difference between a Dietician or Nutritionist and a Physician?
A Physician can do medical checkup, advise blood tests, make diagnosis, treat medical conditions and prescribe medications. A dietician or nutritionist is conventionally not a medical doctor and provides dietary recommendations only.
- I have tried many diets from internet before but failed to lose weight !
Obesity is a complex condition and it is difficult to lose weight as the body adapts & adjusts to retain fat stores. The vast weight loss information available on internet is mostly unverified and anecdotal based on views of self proclaimed ‘experts’ and unqualified laymen. In contrast, professional help provides genuine & valid methods, motivation and guidance to lose weight effectively. Also in many cases an underlying metabolic dysfunction may be the cause of resistant weight gain and plateaus as illustrated in example below :-
- What Diet Plan will I have to follow? I eat mostly outside and it is difficult for me to follow a diet !
The Diet is a uniquely designed plan based on natural, nutrient dense foods promoting health and weight loss. It combines the effective aspects of different Diets and is customized to the individual's lifestyle. It can be adapted for home food or eating outside. It lays out a pattern of eating for rest of life which is flexible unlike a conventional diet chart which is rigid and difficult to follow for long in practical life.
- I work long hours and don’t have time to go to gym !
Getting fit is integral part of this program and going to a gym is helpful. However It is not mandatory as home based workout plans are provided. The workouts are minimum duration and adjusted to the lifestyle.
- What medicines do you prescribe for weight loss? Are the medicines mandatory?
We use the latest and most effective FDA approved weight loss medications currently available. The medicines are optional and may not be indicated in all cases.
Other medications may be required to treat insulin resistance, hormonal deficiencies or co-existing medical conditions.
- Are the medicines safe to use? Do they have any side effects?
The medicines prescribed are FDA approved and released in market only after prolonged studies on human subjects. As with any drug they can also have adverse effects sometimes so it is safer to start and take under supervision of the physician only.
- Are medicines and supplements included in the package price?
No. Only the prescriptions are issued. The medicines and supplements can be bought from any pharmacy.
- Is the weight loss method safe for aged people or with medical conditions like diabetes or cardiac disease?
Yes it is totally safe for aged and chronic medical conditions like diabetes or cardiac disease. In fact it will reduce the need for medications and reverse the effects of the disease if started in early stages.
- Is the treatment available for adults only?
All ages 15 and above, male or female are accepted for treatment.
- How much is the consultation fees?
Consultation charges are usually 300AED. These charges will be adjusted with the package price if opted for afterwards. Get a free Zoom consultation to discuss and understand the treatment process with slides.
- How are the packages priced?
Depending on the package, the price includes - consultation, physical assessment, fat biometrics, essential labs, main weight loss session (diet & exercise plans, etc.), detailed instruction sheets and prescriptions with 2 months supervision (24h phone support and free visits). The prices have been reduced and kept fixed.
- Are there any hidden or extra charges?
No. The packages are all inclusive with no additional or extra charges. Also there are no weekly or monthly charges.
- Why do I need to do blood tests?
Blood tests are essential for the initial assessment to rule out any underlying medical or metabolic issues and help in guiding the treatment. Similarly USG scan abdomen is done to check the status of internal organs if not done before.
- I have done blood tests recently. Do I need to do the tests again?
There are packages without blood tests if the required tests have already been done in last 3 months. USG scan abdomen is recommended if not done in last 1 year. Food intolerance test is recommended if not done in last 5 years. Depending on the results additional tests may be required in some cases.
- Are the packages single visit only?
This depends on the package. Common between all packages is a main comprehensive session. There are packages which include 2 months supervision with 24h phone support and free visits whenever required. A follow-up consultation can be taken anytime after that.
- How much time does it take for the full weight loss session at the clinic?
Initial formalities take less than 10 mins. The main weight loss session takes around 60-90mins usually.
- Are the weight loss packages covered by medical insurances?
No. Medical insurances do not cover treatment of obesity. However insurance can be used to evaluate and treat any underlying medical condition diagnosed after initial screening.
- What is the mode of payment?
Payment is by cash or card. International cards and currencies are accepted. Payment in installments via Tabby is available.
- What if I fail to lose any weight? Is there any guarantee?
No medical treatment can have guarantees. Failures can happen due to noncompliance in following the instructions and making unwarranted modifications.
